This is a hearty soup chock full of vegetables and beans. When the canned tomatoes cook down and simmer with all the vegetables, the broth is a rich, savory flavor of everything combined. Some people in my family aren't too keen on soup, so I make toasted garlic bread for them to sop up the extra broth after they eat all the other ingredients.
